That will help you to assess your topic-wise preparation level and concrete your preparation on weak areas. It will also expose you to a variety of exam questions and set the right expectations. In case you want to take a look at some of the sample questions you can try PMI-PBA® Sample Practice Questionsof Whizlabs

Although there is a no substitute for the real-life Business analysis & Project Management experience, there is a huge scope of opportunity in the other two areas – Business Analysis & Project Management Principles (according to Business Analysis guide & latest PMBOK® version) and PBA® Exam Taking Strategy & Practice. There might be several questions that might be hovering around your mind:

How and where to begin?

How much time (total no of days, hours/day etc) should I allocate for preparing for PBA® exam?

Which areas should I focus on while preparing and practicing for the exam?

Which books and training should I consider? etc.

To answer most of the above questions, you need to reliably assess where you currently stand regarding your preparedness for the real exam. Once you know your current level, you can choose the appropriate study aids and confidently plan to be successful in the real exam. The best way to assess your current level is to take Mock PBA® Exam Simulated on the Pattern of the Actual PBA® Exam. The software generated results of the simulated mock exam will give you a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses in addition to helping you assess your overall preparedness for the exam.

After you have acquired the required understanding about the relevant topics, it is a matter of constant practice through the mock exams based on the pattern of the real exam. All possible efforts have been made to acknowledge any third party trademark and service mark with applicable Whizlabs Products, however, Whizlabs, its staff, its management, nor the independent Contractor Author can attest to the accuracy of that information.
